THE WILDEN PUMP — HOW IT WORKS
The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show flow pattern
through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.

PRO-FLO™ AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

OPERATION — HOW IT WORKS
Figure 1 The Pro-Flo™ patented air distribution
system incorporates three moving parts:
the air valve spool, the pilot spool, and the
main shaft/diaphragm assembly. The heart
of the system is the air valve spool and air
valve. As shown in Figure 1, this valve
design incorporates an unbalanced spool.
The smaller end of the spool is pressurized
continuously, while the large end is alter-
nately pressurized and exhausted to move
the spool. The spool directs pressurized air
to one chamber while exhausting the
other. The air causes the main shaft/
diaphragm assembly to shift to one side —
discharging liquid on one side and pulling
liquid in on the other side. When the shaft
reaches the end of its stroke, it actuates
the pilot spool, which pressurizes and
exhausts the large end of the air valve
spool. The pump then changes direction
and the same process occurs in the oppo-
site direction, thus reciprocating the pump.

SUGGESTED INSTALLATION

AIR-OPERATED PUMPS: To stop the pump from operating in an

emergency situation, simply close the “shut-off” valve (user supplied)
installed in the air supply line. A properly functioning valve will stop the
air supply to the pump, therefore stopping output. This “shut-off” valve
should be located far enough away from the pumping equipment such
that it can be reached safely in an emergency situation.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the shutoff valve should be closed,
if the restarting of the pump is not desirable once power is regained.

AIR VALVE DISASSEMBLY:

CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is attempted,
the compressed air line to the pump should be discon-
